Hoyer Lift

We got a ceiling hoyer lift installed in Scarlett's bedroom. We decided to only put a track in her bedroom for now. This will help us lift her out of bed and place her in a bath chair, wheelchair and stander. It's a little challenging to get her into the sling. We have to roll her into it and unhook her pulse-ox and feeding tubes. We keep her hooked up to the ventilator because she can't breathe without it. Using it will get easier with time once we get a set routine down.  This should make lifting her easier on our backs!
